Post weight lifting?

I'm 15 in 9th grade, and im 5'8ft. My dad is 6ft and my mom is 5'3ft, would I make it over 6ft? Also I just started lifting weights, can lifting weight stunt your growth?

Hi drew...I don't know the answer to the weight lifting question, but as for your height...I have always heard and even heard this from a doctor. Each generation is taller that the generation before. And I have noticed this to be true. My father is 6'2". My brother is 6'4". Mother is 5'6". My brother-in-law is 6'4" and his son is 6'5". My husband is 6'2" and I am assuming my boys will be over 6'2". Do you take after your father or mother in looks and manerisms?

lol, im not sure about that. in a couple years we would have giants walking around. my dad is 6'4", im only 5'11", and aint gettin any taller. i think you have to look at more than just your parents, i.e., grandparents etc.
